I feel John and Marg truly represent what the commu- nity champion award is all Jeffries, Creaseys honoured... Continued from page 1 about, Dodds concluded. Recipient Bob Jeffries, a man who just quietly goes about helping our in the community, as one Rotarian described it, was eulogized by Bill Beaton who referred to the fact he takes in and trains Guide Dogs at his Acton home. Rotarians were especially grateful to Jeffries, who helped lay the hydro cable at Rotary Park at no cost. The quiet man volunteers at COGECO, films events at the Seniors Centre as well as a number of other community events. Hes an active mem- ber of Knox Presbyterian Church, where hes involved in many activities. Jeffries is an exemplary citizen, whose many qual- ities were recognized by Rotarians on Friday. Theres nothing quite like the warmth and relaxation from a fire in a wood stove. The smell of burning wood in the crisp fall air and its crackle as it burns is an en- joyable experience. More efficient then open face fire places, wood stoves are an alternative to oil or gas heating but proper pre- cautions must be observed so accidents dont happen, says Halton Hills Chief of Fire Prevention & Public Education Harry Olivieri, who offers these tips: 1.Check municipal bylaws for necessary building per- mits, inspections and fees. 2.Shop around and make inquiries from competent, qualified retailers. Ask if they are WETT Certified (Wood Energy Technical Training). 3.Check with your insur- ance agent for any possible requirements they may have regarding fire insurance cov- erage. 4.Dont be over-sold. Buy the appliance most suited for the area it is to heat. Bigger is not always better in this case. 5.Ensure all manufacturers instructions are followed. This appliance is designed and built to certain criteria. Do not deviate from these instructions. 6.If the decision to buy is confirmed, choose a repu- table installer and one who is WETT Certified. Your insurance company may be able provide references for you to consider. Last, but above all En - sure your home is equipped with working smoke alarms on each level! ??? ?? ??????? ???? ??? ??????? ???? ????? ????? ??? ?????????? ????? ???? ??????? ??????????? ????? ???? ??? ?????????? ???? ????? ??? ????????
